campus, is available through a program offered at East Tennessee State University
(ETSU). King University, in cooperation with ETSU and the United States Army, offer
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) opportunity for King students to enroll in the
Military Science program at ETSU. The program is designed to develop the students’
managerial and leadership abilities, introduce students to the mission and organization

a student will receive a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army.

King undergraduate students may participate in the program and are eligible for all
the benefits associated at ETSU. The ETSU courses in the ROTC program are noted on
the students’ King transcript. King, however, reserves the right to determine which
courses are appropriate and consonant with its educational objectives. These courses
are listed in the academic catalog under Military Science for the Army Program.
